Data transfer between Engine Control
Module (ECM) and CAN capable control
modules, checking


Notes:

Data exchange between individual control
modules occurs via a bus system.
The term "CAN-bus" refers to a system that
transports and distributes data.
The wire connections between the control
modules, via which data is transferred, are
referred to as data wires.
Data is transferred to the connected control
modules serially (one after the other) via these
data wires (i.e. engine speed, accelerator
position).

Checking bus system
The DTC table suggested checking the data
exchange between the Engine Control Module
(ECM) and CAN capable control modules.
